Bill: The use of torture for obtaining information.
Details
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 3835
Description[?]:
| The use of torture for obtaining information is currently never allowed. However we believe that in situations where information is vital we think it should be allowed, because the ends justify the means in our opinion: what's better, one guilty person unharmed and many dead or many innocents alive and one guilty person tortured? And with issues such as terrorism, we should be able to inflict torture to stop innocent people from being harmed. So yes, we believe torture should be allowed as a last resort for grave situations of emergency. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |

Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
